Semiconductors can become conductive if their temperature is raised sufficiently to populate the (empty) conduction band from the highest filled levels in the valence band. The ratio of the populations in the lowest level of the conduction band to that of the highest level in the valence band is

nconduction/ nvalence=gconduction/ gvalence e^−ΔE/kBT

where ΔE is the band gap, which is 1.12 eV for Si and 5.5 eV for diamond. Assume for simplicity that the ratio of the degeneracies is one and that the semiconductor becomes sufficiently conductive when

nconduction/ nvalence=5.5×10^−7.

a. At what what temperature will diamond become sufficiently conductive?
b. At what temperature will silicon become sufficiently conductive?

Benzonitrile (c6h5cn) is reduced to two different products depending on the reducing agent used. treatment with lithium aluminum hydride followed by water forms k, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 107 and the following ir absorptions: 3373, 3290, 3062, 2920, and 1600 cm-1. treatment with a milder reducing agent forms l, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 106 and the following ir absorptions: 3086, 2850, 2820, 2736, 1703, and 1600 cm-1. l shows fragments in its mass spectrum at m/z = 105 and 77. propose structures for k and l and choose an explanation for how this could be concluded.
